I didn't say you were uneducated. I said misspelled word names look uneducated. And it's true. They give the impression that you do not know how to spell a word. If you want uniqueness, well, sticking a y in there is actually not going to do it. Finding a name that's actually unique will - not that hard with a little research into popularity stats. I wouldn't want my kid to have the same name as three other kids in the class either, but to use an example - the Jacksons and Jaxons and Jaxsons are all really Jacksons in the end. They're all going to sound the same and still be associated with the same name.

What I'm really mystified by now is viewing it as Gaelic - how do you view a misspelled English word as Gaelic? (But you can find plenty of actually Gaelic names on this site, many of which will be actually unique, so I'd recommend that!)
